Mama's, what are your favorite swaddles? My first did really well with the Halo, however my second screams bloody murder if we attempt to put him in it. He also Houdinis out of traditional blanket swaddles. I've been looking an research however there are so many different ones (and expensive! )

Miracle blanket or the love to dream swaddle you. My second loved his hands by his face so the swaddle up was perfect

Copper Pearl! It’s stretchy enough to wrap perfectly. It’s the only swaddle I loved. I didn’t like the ones with Velcro because my baby would sometimes get the middle part over her mouth and it was scary to me. I adored my copper pearl swaddling blankets!

The miracle swaddle worked best for my LO. It’s the only one she couldn’t get out of/fall asleep in.

The Ollie swaddle is the best one I’ve seen. My sister has a 5 day old and it’s been the best one yet between all five kids and countless products. .

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned the Merlin?! It’s not a swaddle but it is miracle for getting and keeping kids asleep. We have used it on my son since we was just a month or two old and now he is almost 7 mos.

We used this crazy thing called the Woombie.

Yes to the Woombie! No velcro, which was a pain the the wash, and a reversible zipper for diaper changes. Loved it!

I loved the ones that velcroed them in. They were conveniently easy especially in the middle of the night

I just used a sack. Zen it was called. I don’t think it really did much for his sleep but it was well made. Honestly we didn’t swaddle our kiddo very well. He had colic and nothing - I mean nothing - kept it at bay - except time. He’s the sweetest 15 month old and now sleeps through the night since 6 months! Hugs mama - positive vibes for better sleep soon!

If you Google taking cara babies swaddle houdini, there's a video on how to swaddle your baby without having to buy another product. i unfortunately didn't see this video during my baby's early days and the other types didn't work. Good luck!

My first needed the SwaddleMe type but my 2nd born isn’t a fan. She prefers regular swaddle blankets. I recommend looking at the material because some can be very light while others are warm and more suited to cool or colder months.

Hands down, Miracle Blanket. We have twins, and they slept well every night. The trick is to wrap them tighter than you think you need to. If they can wiggle their arms out, it's too loose.

We used a Boba wrap as a swaddle. It wraps around a bunch of times which prevented our little one from escaping.
